A family of volunteers that care about teaching agricultural education! They love and have been doing this for many years. Don’t expect commercialization and only a true working farm and people that want to teach you about farming and the animals! A kid safe place
Great tradition and hands on learning and teaching farm, a nonprofit that goes beyond your expectations.
Benton Family Farm is a family favorite! Their hands on approach made us excited to learn about farm animals and we always look forward to a day at the farm. Thank you for making farm life look so fun, and teaching us so much over the years!

Benton farm is the true meaning of what is good in the world. Children get to experience being on a real farm and they learn what it takes to care for real animals. Their events reflect sustainability and a cohabitation with nature. Every time we visit it is like ' coming home. '

I love seeing all the work that is done at Benton Farms to make sure that the kids and the animals have a great time.

Love the work that all of the staff puts in to make Benton Farms run.
My boys have been to summer farm camp and loved it! They will be going back this summer. Benton Farms also comes to the after school program that I run and they are phenomenal!
Benton family farms is a 4th generation nonprofit family farm. They are a passional and hardworking group of invalids that focus on educating the community about agriculture. Benton Family Farms provides many different programs that tailor to different parts of the community. For example, farmers Missy and Mary take the mobile trailer to many different schools, and after-school programs. During this program, the community gets hands-on experience with various farm animals. Such as chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, cows… extra. Benton Family farms also provide school tours. Lines of buses come during the fall to experience the farm. Children learn about many different farm animals and what the animals provide us. Along, with how the farmer keeps the animals happy and healthy. During the summer Benton Farms has a Farm Camp. Each week is different and full of educational fun. Camp is about making new friends, discovering what life is like on a farm. Lastly, Benton Family Farm provides space for birthday parties, induvial tours, and resections. They are a family that wants to bring the farm life experience to you and teach you where your food comes from.
An educational farm meeting each customers educational needs! Having fun and learning go hand in hand at Benton Farm! The farm is truly hands on and if you can't go to the farm, Benton has a mobile unit and can bring the farm animals to you. Think of Benton not only for children but also for adults; this would be a great place for an off-site experience!
We are blessed in northern Kentucky to have such a resource!
We visited Benton Family Farm for Community Based Instruction for our Special Needs classroom. It was an amazing experience and the staff was awesome. They went out of their way to make accommodations so our students could enjoy it to the fullest! Definitely can not wait to go back!
Our preschool has been taking field trips to Benton Family Farm for over 30 years. This farm has proudly been in the family for five generations and we prefer this farm over others for its dedication to educating children about farm life and the developmentally appropriate way they deliver the information. The farm is a hands-on environment which keeps the children engaged. They have a variety of opportunities, including milking a cow, shearing a sheep, feeding goats and llamas, collecting eggs from chicken coop, holding a baby chick, petting rabbits, learning about bee-keeping, going on a hay ride and picking a pumpkin.
Benton Family Farm also has an educational traveling trailer that will bring the farm to you, whether it is a classroom or a family function. And the farm offers additional family-oriented events including summer day camps for a variety of ages, toddler groups, and goat yoga for adults/families too. And while COVID has really hurt the small businesses, Benton Family Farm has also been holding spring and fall craft fairs with 100+ craft/food vendors to help others with their businesses.
I strongly recommend Benton Family Farm for field trips as well as for family fun. Their website is a helpful way to get started.
Best farm experience ever!! I’ve been a camper and counselor at Benton Farm’s summer camp in the past and have attended their Pumpkin Days, Quarter auctions, and more! The staff treat everyone like family and are some of the kindest people I know. Every time I’ve been there was more fun than the last and I can honestly say that it’s always one of my favorite places to visit!
I have been attending Benton Farms since I was 6 years old. Between the animals, events, camps, and staff everything is absolutely amazing. Best farm experience ever!
This farm is a great experience for people of all ages. They have a great ,spacious, and beautiful gathering barn for events. They have a kids summer camp which the kids love!! And of course tons of cute animals for you to see with your family!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Benton Farm is amazing location and the folks that run it are all down to earth. An excellent place to have weddings, conference meetings and just to get together. Also, a real historical and paranormal gem. Location has something for everyone.
This farm is the best place on earth to be! I volunteered a couple years ago with the farm camp and it was just the best experience! I have always been coming to this farm for events and even just going to see all the animals! Everyone is incredibly nice and the farm is great! The owner does a lot of events to even help teach kids about animals!
THE BEST! i volunteered here as a camp counselor when i was younger and let me tell you , it was unforgettable! i loved getting the opportunity to work with the amazing staff. The owner works very hard and i appreciate everything she had done for my family and the community! I know if you ask any kid who’s been there they had the best experience! She has many events for whatever your liking, craft shows, goat yoga, etc. i have made tons of memories through out the years! it’s definitely something you need to check out
This is great farm is a pillar to its community and surrounding area. Its provides Agricultural Awareness as well as Recreational opportunities and events that bring people together and continues to be a part of its areas not only by gone history but future history. Many thanks to all that are involved in preserving it.
It is incredibly rare to find a place as special as the Benton Family Farm. It's one of those gems that you think is most likely great, and then once you go it's even more than you imagined! Everyone associated with the farm was incredibly friendly and helpful. As soon as you park, the beauty of this place is all around you. Adorable rabbits were running around, ducks and chickens were free range as well. (We even noticed an egg or two!) They have so many great animals, and the honey is delicious! They offer a summer camp opportunity for the children and have educated the kids on what agriculture is truly about. Agriculture is close to my heart, and Benton Family Farm is one of the best farms I've been to in a long time. It is a place where farming is still alive, and being taught to future generations. We will definitely go back for a visit, and next time I'm definitely doing the goat yoga!
This farm, in my opinion is the best in Northern Kentucky. The owner is very generous and does alot for the community, especially tri- state children. A must visit for families. If you have children get them in the summer camp. I volunteered in the past and it was great to see so many happy faces and the animals love it, too!!
Benton Family Farms is my own personal Disney world, my happiest place on Earth. I have been spending my summers there for the past 12 years. I spent my first 8 years as a camper, from age 5 to 13. I enjoyed every moment of camp, from the amazing people who run the farm to the countless activities that would keep us entertained there was never any time to not be having the best day ever! I’ve been lucky enough to be a counselor there for the last 4 years. I’ve had many jobs and volunteer opportunities in addition to Benton’s, but it has always remained my favorite. The environment, people, kids, and animals keep me coming back each year. This farm is the absolute best in all areas, from summer camp to goat yoga to plays to pumpkin days, there is never a dull moment. Mary does an absolutely amazing job at everything, I cannot say enough good things about this place!
